California recently had a huge flux of whooping cough and it's been linked to parents who refuse to vaccinate their children.
Do you think it should be mandated that all children, except those with valid religious beliefs, be vaccinated? Even if the parents do not want their child vaccinated? This post has been edited by tokyo-rose: Jul 2 2010, 09:40 AM

QUOTE(brooklyneast05 @ Jul 1 2010, 09:50 PM)  isn't vaccinating already enforced? i wasn't eligible to go to school if i hadn't been vaccinated. I was thinking the exact same thing. I believe there are vaccinations that are enforced because Schools wont let children attend unless they've had certain vaccinations. As for Whooping cough, I know its deadly not just to babies but to anyone. QUOTE Whooping cough — or pertussis — is an infection of the respiratory system caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis (or B. pertussis). It's characterized by severe coughing spells that end in a "whooping" sound when the person breathes in. Before a vaccine was available, pertussis killed 5,000 to 10,000 people in the United States each year. Now, the pertussis vaccine has reduced the annual number of deaths to less than 30. But in recent years, the number of cases has started to rise. By 2004, the number of whooping cough cases spiked past 25,000, the highest level it's been since the 1950s. It's mainly affected infants younger than 6 months old before they're adequately protected by immunizations, and kids 11 to 18 years old whose immunity has faded. More details here The reason its for little kids more is because their airways are smaller. |
